Jill Gidlund

I'm Jill Gidlund-- a speaker and writer located in the East Bay Area, California on Ohlone land. I've worked with children in various settings for over 20 years—as a preschool teacher, children’s pastor, and parent educator. Along with my current work of leading conversations about the spirituality of children, I am a Godly Play Trainer and lead a Godly Play program at Bethel Community Presbyterian Church. I also love spending time with my family, throwing pots at my neighborhood pottery studio, and writing poems.
